Chapter 232: Under the Calm (Part II)
Shen Datong's face was a little embarrassed, this Zhuang Quan didn't seem to be as polite as Sheng Jiu! I heard that he had always been inclined to the Eighth Route Army, but now it seems that the rumors are true, and that would be very troublesome. So Shen Datong said with a dry smile: "I don't know when you can come over, brother, I am very much looking forward to working with the two of you and fighting against Japan together!"
"Hehe! I think that the incorporation of your army lacks sincerity, with my big brother Sheng's ability and prestige, at least he must be a lieutenant colonel and regiment commander, and now he is only a battalion commander, or a deputy, which we can't accept! I'm afraid I'm going to be a company commander, right?" Zhuang Quan said very politely. Originally, Sheng Jiu's expectation was that he was the regiment commander, but he didn't expect that he would only be given a battalion commander now, and he was also a deputy.
"It's a major and company commander! In fact, with your special talent and that sniper rifle, it won't take much time to kill a few devils and be promoted to lieutenant colonel!" Shen Datong was even more embarrassed, and the official title given above was still a company commander.
"Battalion Commander Shen, let's have dinner! Come from afar and let us do our best landlord friendship, as for the conditions for incorporation, please ask Battalion Commander Shen to go back and discuss it, this condition is unacceptable to us!" Zhuang Quan is so angry in his heart, he is really a company commander, he really looks down on people with fucking dog eyes.
"Yes, Camp Commander Shen, please!" Sheng Jiu also agreed with Zhuang Quan's statement, made a gesture of please, and planned to invite them to a meal and send them back.
"No need, we still have military affairs in our bodies, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, I hope the two of you can think about it, and the brothers welcome the arrival of the two at any time!" "Battalion Commander Shen also doesn't want to stay longer, this has already collapsed, what kind of food are you going to eat!"
"That's good!
"You're welcome, you're ......"
After sending off the two people from the national army, Sheng Jiu came back very unhappily and threw the teacup in his hand on the ground: "Damn! I deceive people too much, not only want my people, but also empty my rights, is it easy to bully when Lao Tzu?"
"Hehe! I'm a major company commander, and I'm even worse than you! So it's better to ask for others than for ourselves, none of us have to rely on ourselves!" Zhuang Quan said with a smile.
"Brother, what do you say next?" Sheng Jiu also nodded in agreement, originally he had always wanted to defect to the national army, but now he was somewhat disheartened.
"As soon as they met, they named the two leaders, what does this mean? This shows that they have a very clear grasp of our situation!" Zhuang Quan analyzed very calmly.
"So what's the matter?, what do you mean?" Sheng Jiu asked before he could figure it out.
"If they can grasp such details, then the Japanese will not be unclear at all, right? At least the Japanese should have determined by now that we did not defect to the Eighth Route Army. Zhuang Quan explained.
"Well, most likely, you mean ......" Sheng Jiu suddenly asked with some vigilance.
"Yes! It's very likely that they will take action against us! Don't you think it's a little abnormal to be calm now? Moreover, there have been a lot of Jianghu characters around recently, and Fang Tongzhen's plainclothes team has not only recovered, but also increased the number of people, I heard that Huang An has been very willing to spend money recently!" Zhuang Quan nodded and said.
"Then fight! Are we still afraid of them? We also have guns and cannons, they don't have a big group of devils, if they want to capture the Black Wind Ridge, it's a dream!" Sheng Jiu said confidently.
"But we can't afford it?" Zhuang Quan said hesitantly.
"Then what do you mean, Black Wind Ridge doesn't want it?" Sheng Jiu said impatiently.
"That can't be! I mean we'll have to make a little more preparations, find another place to hide, and quietly transport your closest men, horses, weapons, ammunition, money, and baggage, to make sure we have a backup in the worst possible time. Since the surname Shen can name the two masters, then your nameless mountain may not be safe. Zhuang Quan is actually doing it according to Du Mengyun's ideas.
"This ...... Is it necessary? We already have three hills......" Sheng Jiu asked with some suspicion.
"These three places are not very safe!It's always good to be careful!" Zhuang Quan nodded and said.
"Okay, I'll send Zhou Tong to bring a hundred people out, what about you?" Sheng Jiu asked.
"Wang Tiexiong, I'm only a hundred reliable here!" Zhuang Quan said.
"What do you say to the outside world?" Sheng Jiu asked.
"Let's just say that I went to the Eighth Road, just let out the wind, and the people and horses rushed to the Eighth Road one after another to see which people didn't want to follow......" Zhuang Quan now felt that Du Mengyun's worry was right, and he was also a little uneasy!
"Okay! I'll do it right away!"
"Remember, this time it's going to be done by the most reliable people!"
……
In Pingdu County, Huang An had just returned from Kato, and he and Huang Lin went to attend an important meeting, and Kato finally left Huang An behind and showed him two translated telegrams. This shows the full trust in Huang An, and it is also a denial of Huang Lin. Huang An's heart was warm, the problem was that Huang Lin didn't feel it at all, and he still trusted Huang An very much.
Returning to the Huang family's mansion, Huang Anxing rushed to Jian Xun's courtyard, and this time it was very likely that he would be able to catch Sheng Jiu and that Qiu Yun!
"Jian Daxia, good news, we'll be able to catch that little girl soon!" Huang An said as soon as he saw Jian Xun.
"Oh, do you have any news of her?" Jian Xun was also shocked.
"Almost, today the Imperial Army showed me two telegrams, which were sent by spies lurking inside the National Army. It is said that a battalion commander of the national army went to Heifengling a few days ago, met Sheng Jiu, and wanted to incorporate Sheng Jiu's troops, but there was no negotiation. Not only that, but he also mentioned the big boss of Heifeng Ridge, called Zhuang Quan, and even mentioned the sniper rifle with a muffler. It can be concluded that Zhuang Quan is the one who shot at you last time when you and Sheng Jiu made a move!" Huang An said excitedly.
"But there's no definite news from Qiu Yun?" Jian Xun asked with some disappointment.
"Why not? Sheng Jiu has been hit by the poison on your soft sword, only Qiu Yun can solve it, right? And it will take several times to heal, right? Now Sheng Jiu is fine, so do you say that this means that Qiu Yun is also hiding in the Black Wind Ridge?" Huang An is worthy of being a clever person, combining the things before and after, and the head of the analysis is the Tao.
"Well, it's very likely. No, yes, I'm sure that girl is hiding on the Black Wind Ridge!" Jian Xun also nodded frequently. Then, some couldn't wait to ask, "Then should we do it right away?"
"No, no, no, Kato Taijun showed me these two telegrams, which means that we are going to prepare to attack the Black Wind Ridge, and when the time comes, when they are beaten and flee down the mountain, we will launch an attack by surprise, so that the odds are higher?" Huang An said with a deep plan.
Kato is indeed preparing to attack the Black Wind Ridge now, he has been looking for Sheng Jiu's whereabouts, but there has been no accurate news, but he didn't expect that the eyeliner arranged within the national army found the exact news from the national army, which is really a bit unexpected. Since Sheng Jiu was not there in the Eighth Road, Kato was more relieved, and he was still very sure of dealing with a group of bandits who were lonely.
And recently Kato has been under a lot of pressure from all sides, especially those merchants of the empire, who have very opinions about his re-assignment of Inoue Durian to guard Fang Tong Town, and have been protesting, they think that Inoue Durian has done nothing in Fang Tong Town, and is completely unworthy of being the supreme commander of Fang Tong Town. But Kato is also very contradictory, although Inoue Durian has not done anything, but after all, he is more familiar with the situation there. So Kato decided to attack the Black Wind Ridge this time, just to give Inoue Durian a chance to perform. At the same time, it also lets people know that the things of the imperial army are not so easy to grab! This time, we must completely exterminate the Black Wind Ridge!
But this time Kato was also very careful, in order not to startle the snake, he divided the three squadrons into five days before quietly rushing to Fang Tong Town, and as soon as he entered Fang Tong Town, he was stationed in the Jin family compound, and he didn't know outside that Fang Tong Town had quietly increased his troops.
At the same time, Huang An also dispatched 200 imperial troops from Pingdu County to Fangtong Town, and Jian Xun also sat in a sedan chair and followed Fangtong Town. In fact, Sheng Jiu and Zhuang Quan both had eyeliner in Fangtong Town, but this time Kato's actions were too hidden, several squadrons arrived in the middle of the night, and they were not discovered, although Huang An's two hundred reinforcements of the Imperial Association Army entered Fangtong Town in a big way, but it did not attract Sheng Jiu's attention, the Imperial Association Army is really not worthy of Sheng Jiu's attention, and even Zhuang Quan did not take Huang An's Imperial Association Army very seriously.
However, thanks to Kato's care, Zhuang Quan and Sheng Jiu had a few more days to transfer many valuable materials to a newly found cave, which was quite far away from the Black Wind Ridge. It's almost three or four kilometers away, in the depths of the mountains, inaccessible.
……
When the last group of devils arrived in Fangtong Town, Kato also arrived, and he didn't dare to underestimate the bandits this time, Sheng Jiu not only had hundreds of people and horses, but also heavy weapons, he wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness and catch him off guard. Therefore, the whole town was under martial law that night, and at four o'clock in the morning, he began to assemble the team, and after breakfast, the sky had begun to turn a little white, Kato ordered everyone to start thinking about the Black Wind Ridge, this time it was Inoue Durian Farmers who were pioneering, he knew that this was Kato giving him a chance to perform meritorious service, so Inoue Durian Farmers worked very hard, and at the same time, he also hated Sheng Jiu to the core, and he wanted to take revenge!
There are actually a lot of sentry posts around the Black Wind Ridge, but this time Kato's movements are too fast, and when those sentry posts found out, Kato's troops were already very close to the Black Wind Ridge, especially the Inoue Durian Farmers had already rushed to the foot of the Black Wind Ridge at this time......
PS: I received a monthly pass from Ah Jian Baby today, and I can see Ah Jian Baby every month, which is very warm! But Ah Jian Baby, as a senior voting veteran, I don't know if the 15th - 19th of this month is the double monthly pass time? That is, voting one is counted as two!
